Vertebrate Succession in the Ischigualasto Formation (2012, background): “—VERTEBRATE SUCCESSION IN THE ISCHIGUALASTO FORMATION 15 synapomorphies that diagnose Dromomeron—the concave posterolateral surface of the crista tibiofibularis and presence of distinct scar on the anterior surface of the distal end of the femur (Nesbitt et al., 2009).”
The Early Evolution of Archosaurs: Relationships and the Origin of Major Clades (2011, methodology): “…bones described by Colbert belong to a dinosauromorph (e.g., the elongated metatarsals, one of the humeri), the sacral vertebra belongs to Vancleavea (Nesbitt et al., 2009a), and other material collected at the locality represents the remains of fishes, phytosaurs, amphibians, or other archosaurs.”
Postcranial Osteology of Azendohsaurus madagaskarensis (?Middle to Upper Triassic, Isalo Group, Madagascar) and its Systematic Position Among Stem Archosaur Reptiles (2015, background): “Moreover, A. madagaskarensis lacks any postaxial intercentra, a character state that is synapomorphic well within Archosauriformes (for Vancleavea campi + Archosauria; see Nesbitt et al., 2009).”
